Pixur

The right way to print pictures in the terminal with PowerShell

Usage

NOTE: Make sure you have ImageMagick installed.

Clone the repository into your project directory, then call the src/pixure.ps1 file:

$ "path/to/picture.png" | pixur

You can redirect output to a file:

$ "path/to/picture.png" | pixur > image.pxl

... and view the saved image with cat:

$ cat image.pxl

Terminal support

Because Pixur uses ANSI escape codes, not every terminal fully supports Pixur (yet). Indeed, as of September 2018, only the famous Windows Console, once notorious for poor color and Unicode character support fully supports Pixur.

Terminal	Full Support?
Windows Console	✔ Yes!
Alacritty	❌ no
Cmder	❌ no
ConEmu	❌ no
Hyper	❌ no
Terminus	❌ no

Windows Console
